RE: Malodorous plants
I can't believe this thread.
I cannot understand why a person plant something they know is
going to stink when it blooms. But then again, I grow bromeliads and they
ofter have horrendous spines. I gues it's literally live and let live.
I seem to remember reading about another Arum, supposedly that
looks like a gigantic skunk cabbage more than ten feet high at bloom. And
it has a commensurate stench I'm told.
I understnd the the female Gingko tree rewards us with an
evil-smelling fruit if there is a male nearby. ---Chas---
